Chapter 542: line with translation of chapter title

Because the distance between Di Du and Hai Cheng is too short, after takeoff the plane climbs to altitude and soon has to descend, so the flight time is about one and a half hours.

Moreover, Hai Cheng is such a small place, its airspace is almost empty, with hardly any flights, so delays basically don't exist.

Not only will there be no delays, almost every flight from Di Du arrives 20-30 minutes early.

Only a small city would get such treatment for flights to arrive early.

After washing up, Zheng Ren saw from the window that Feng Xu Hui's car was already waiting downstairs.

Zheng Ren called Director Lao Pan to ask for leave to pick up Director Kong.

Since Feng Xu Hui refused Chairman Ma Quan last time, he has been more attentive to Zheng Ren's affairs.

Although he doesn't often run to the department, he comes to the emergency ward almost every night to sit. By chatting with the on‑duty doctors, delivering drinks, ordering dinner, etc., he maintains rapport and, in detail, keeps track of Zheng Ren's recent movements.

Zheng Ren's thigh is a must‑hold; Feng Xu Hui tells himself that several times a day.

Look at that German professor's attitude: he came all the way to China and even learned Northeastern dialect—what kind of spirit is that?

If I can't even match that German professor, how can I stand firm in the fiercely competitive high‑value medical consumables market? To be outstanding?

Zheng Ren came down a few minutes later and took the front passenger seat.

"Chief Zheng, who are we picking up?" Feng Xu Hui asked while shifting gears and lightly pressing the accelerator.

"Director Kong, you know him."

Feng Xu Hui, being tactful, didn't continue asking.

What Director Kong came for isn't important; the important thing is—he came twice within a month!

Is a senior director of a large tertiary hospital in Di Du really that idle?

The answer is definitely no, he couldn't be that idle.

They're coming here for a reason; as an insignificant ant, I just follow along.

Zheng Ren spent most of the time staring blankly at the snowy plain outside the window, which made Feng Xu Hui quite embarrassed.

If both people in the car stay silent, it would be terribly awkward.

But if he speaks, interrupting Chief Zheng's train of thought, might he provoke anger?

Really, speaking is no good, not speaking is no good either.

Feng Xu Hui sincerely thinks Chief Zheng is great in every way, except his unwillingness to talk, which is really hard to bear.

However, the expressway to the airport isn't long, and the BMW X5 performs well; Feng Xu Hui didn't interrupt Zheng Ren's thoughts, but tried to drive the car as fast and steady as possible.

Soon they arrived at the airport, checked the flight time, and found it was exactly half an hour early.

At that moment, the plane had already landed and was taxiing on the runway.

After waiting several minutes, Director Kong was the first to walk out of the main doors.

They shook hands warmly, and Zheng Ren respectfully invited Director Kong into the car.

This time he didn't sit in the front passenger seat, but sat in the back with Director Kong.

"Boss Zheng, Professor Rudolf has been staying with you for a while—how has the exchange been?" Director Kong asked.

"It's fine, though I guess… Professor Rudolf will be leaving soon." Zheng Ren said.

"I heard he found a patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia? Did he perform the surgery?"

"It's done; the effect is good, the urinary catheter has been removed. Urination is smooth, the effect is very good." Zheng Ren laughed.

Director Kong pondered.

Zheng Ren didn't mind and asked directly: "Director Kong, you came in person this time to…"

"I reported to the hospital and want you transferred to Di Du." Director Kong said: "What do you think, Xiao Zheng? Any ideas?"

Zheng Ren fell silent, his face showing difficulty.

Feng Xu Hui's ears perked up—Chief Zheng going to Di Du? How would I follow? This is a big deal!

Seeing Zheng Ren's expression, Director Kong didn't press him either; if he outright refused, it would hurt feelings. Just kidding—a few seconds or a hesitation is already enough.

"Just joking, Xiao Zheng." Director Kong laughed.

Zheng Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, Xiao Zheng, this time the president and the executive vice president commissioned me to solicit your opinion." Director Kong mentioned the two presidents, and their sitting postures instinctively straightened.

"Huh? What opinion?"

"Our hospital and Haicheng First Hospital have formed a mutual‑assistance pairing, exchanging and learning by dispatching personnel." Director Kong spoke in official jargon, phrase after phrase.

Feng Xu Hui's brain short‑circuited.

Is a large tertiary hospital in Di Du supposed to help Haicheng First Hospital? Is this a poverty‑relief drive? Nowadays large tertiary hospitals' manpower is tight—where would they find spare staff to aid Haicheng First Hospital?

Feng Xu Hui didn't understand, but Zheng Ren did.

He hesitated a moment and asked: "Are we sending a few emergency‑department doctors to assist our hospital?"

Director Kong smiled and nodded.

Zheng Ren's expression suddenly turned a bit strange.

"Xiao Zheng, being able to get this far is your ability. But this is also the limit of my ability—seize the opportunity." Director Kong didn't hide it, speaking directly.

Zheng Ren felt a stir inside and looked at Director Kong.

"Hai Cheng is too small to hold a great deity like you." Director Kong wiped his smile and spoke earnestly: "I also know what you mean—you just want to wait for Director Lao Pan to retire. But we soldiers believe in making use of our remaining energy. We can't let the old squad leader down, so the hospital also agreed to this opinion."

Zheng Ren remained silent for a long time, then said: "Thank you."

"No need to be polite." Director Kong let out a breath.

He really feared that Zheng Ren's brain had gotten waterlogged, refusing such good terms.

As for the transfer, once we bring Zheng Ren to Di Du we'll talk; by then he won't be able to refuse.

In short, Director Kong, that old fox, expended great effort to get Zheng Ren to Di Du.

Feng Xu Hui's ears kept twitching, catching every word of the conversation between Zheng Ren and Director Kong.

Chief Zheng is going to Di Du……

This is the only thought in Feng Xu Hui's mind.

What should I do? Hand over Zheng Ren's relations with colleagues in Di Du? Or…… Feng Xu Hui wanted to cry but had no tears.

Just after refusing the manager position of the company's overseas department, Chief Zheng is about to leave.

Don't play with people like this!

Feng Xu Hui encountered the biggest crisis of his life.

And Zheng Ren completely failed to notice Feng Xu Hui's emotional changes, chatting and laughing with Director Kong all the way to Haicheng Shi Yiyuan.

Upon arriving at City First Hospital, Director Kong and Zheng Renxian went to Director Pan's office.

First take care of business; Director Kong has this under control.

Upon hearing Director Kong's official explanation, Director Pan was first stunned, then overjoyed.

Looking at the thriving emergency department of City First Hospital, Director Pan knew that all of this depended solely on Zheng Ren.

I certainly can't delay Zheng Ren's future, can I?

And Zheng Ren could understand Director Kong's official explanation, and could hardly hide it from Director Pan's discerning eye.

Just when Di Du was sending a pillow to help him catch some sleep, Director Pan felt greatly relieved.
